Bahrain’s Justice Ministry has asked a court to suspend the activities of the country’s main Shi’ite Muslim opposition group, a move that could set back efforts to restart reconciliation talks in the Gulf Arab kingdom.
Bahrain, home to the U.S. Fifth Fleet, quelled a popular uprising in 2011 when majority Shi’ite Muslims led mass protests demanding a greater role in running the Sunni-ruled island but low level civil unrest has persisted.
The ministry asked for a three-month suspension of Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society “so it can correct its legal status”, state news agency BNA reported on Sunday.
